The 1985 Listening Post - #28 1985 Housekeeping Naked Raygun All Rise Genre: Punk 3.75 out of 5 Highlights: Home of the Brave Knock Me Down What happens when you replace the rhythm section of your rather pedestrian punk band? You add a musicality that was previously missing. The snot nosed kid/angry protestor sound that would continue with bands like The Offspring & Against Me! is in full effect on songs like “Knock Me Down” but the jazzy stuff that I loved on Dead Kennedys’ “The Prey” and thought Black Flag kept missing is evidenced on “Mr. Gridlock” a commentary on traffic that, well, I could see blasting on the 405 today. The album gets awfully experimental on the second side and, tbh, boring as hell. Which is a shame as I was really enjoying their sound. https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/all-rise/1120330499
